Thanks for the help :'D

I am not sure why you would need shortening to cover strawberries. You could just use any chocolate you want and melt it over a bain-marie. Put a pot with water on the stove. When it boils, put a metal container with the chocolate on top of the pot with water. Dip the chocolate while it is melted. If you want the chocolate to solidify on the strawberry so you can store it and eat later, look for a recipe for ganache - a chocolate and heavy cream mixture used to cover truffles.

just go to walmart or wherever and get the kind of chocolate you can put in a pot and melt..you might have to ask where its at...then just dip ur strawberries in and enjoy! =]
Whenever my mom makes chocolate dipped goodies, she melts some paraffin wax in with the chocolate to help it stick to the food item.
